macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi, I've just finished my new portfolio site and am looking for some feedback from anyone who would care to share. The site is at

www.mmurad.com

I'm just starting with Flash, but your site looks really good to me. How

Nice 3D work. It would be good if you included a loading bar when loading
each section.

Hi Murad,
The link in the message is dead, but I went to your site. I like your
site design. The graphics and animation are great , but the green and blue
buttons on the portfoliopage do not work. Are they not activated yet? Also it
is designed for a 17" monitor, it gets cropped at 600x800, and stays in the
corner of my 19" monitor. I am looking at changing my own site( url below) to
Flash to make it fit any size monitor. If you design it 1024x1280 in Flash, I
found it scales down to whatever smaller size, as long as it is not inside an
html page. Check out my on going tests at the url below. I would love to help
you with my comments if you return the favor.

Site looks great. I like the slider animation on the navigation. And I like
that you have a different suttle animation for each section.

I have recently redesigned my portfolio site as well using flash.

Hi gaudel,
First, thanks for letting me know about the link. And thank you for the kind
words. Yes the portfolio links I'm still perfecting. The site is designed at
1024*768. The problem with not putting ur flash in an html page is you lose a
lot of control plus you get ignored by search engines. However you can set the
flash to publish ur movie at 100% so it scales up and down and its something
Im working on now. Currently If your resolution is at 800*600 then yes it will
be cropped. But because this my portfolio site, most if the intended viewers
(i.e creative directors etc.) will be using higher resolutions.

I had a look at ur flash tests, which are very big!! The pictures are great. I
also had a look at your website. Your artistic ability is really fantastic. I
wish I had an ounce of that ability!

One thing you may want to know although you may not care very much, is that
your site looks very strange in firefox. Instead of a grey bar there is a big
grey circle!

Hey Bigj,

Had a look, very nice, crisp clean and proffesional. Not sure if some images
in the empty space on the left would make it look better or cutter it up but I
like that its very professional looking.

p.s. you may want to warn that ur resume is in pdf format. Also, not sure if
you want to have so many details in ur resume considering the number of freaks
out there.
